The obvious priority for Arsenal will be to sign at least one world class striker. Gabriel Jesus is sidelined with a serious injury that could keep him out until midway through next season, and while the returning Kai Havertz remains one of Arteta’s favoured players, there is a strong desire to add an out-and-out proven goalscorer to the ranks.

Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko has been told by RB Leipzig that he can leave the club as soon as possible, according to reports. Mikel Arteta‘s side had considered a move for Sesko last year and have retained their interest ahead of the summer transfer window.
